Chinese Wok in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Called in here whilst on holiday and was not disappointed. Excellent value, excellent food and really friendly service. Recommended.

It’s been a good 18 months since I last had a takeaway from here, the food was always excellent. I decided to call in on the way home last night and picked up a chicken curry, fried rice and a pancake roll. The food was cooked ok, but neither looked or tasted anything like I’ve had before. The curry was orange, had no mushrooms in it, and apart from being hot, had very little taste and was very very runny. The rice was just ok, but the pancake roll was wide, flat and greasy soggy. Has the ownership changed! Will not be going back anytime soon.

Whilst on holiday in Fowey , we ordered a takeaway from Golden Wok, just cannot say enough how good the food was, only to say try it for yourself best we have had. Food was lovely and hot which we don't normally get when having a takeaway. And delivery guy was very friendly and polite. I would give this 10/10. Amazing.

Excellent takeaway at great prices with friendly service - highly recommend

Most of the sauces were way too sweet and nothing like they were supposed to taste, the fried rice was tasteless - and we had ordered plain white rice anyway, but got fried instead. Very little vegetables, in the "with vegetables" food and so on. The ordered food arrived very fast, which should have warned us as it indicates too little time to cook it with care. Almost every one of us was disappointed with their food, as the other Chinese takeout in the region, while 5 minutes by car away, is worlds better, and accepts credit cards. Yes, the Golden wok does not accept cards, and the Co-op next door had an ATM that charged almost 4 pounds for a withdrawal with a visa card that is supposed to be no-fees worldwide, and the exchange rate to Euros was about 20%worse than current market rate, making our 50 pound order cost more than 70 Euros instead of almost 60. And this in Cornwall, where the only cash I usually need is for old ticket machines at car parks, as even beach booths and so on take cards, and some shops even refuse to take cash. Not accepting cards in this location is not excusable. All in all, mediocre food at best, friendly staff, errors in handling of the orders, does only accept cash in an almost cashless local business culture.

Good quality take away. Good service. Speedy with order.

First time ordering. Really nice food. Would recommend. 👍

Food was really good and good value we had 2 takeaways from there and both times the food was excellent

Very poor quality chicken and duck in all the dishes we had, it didn't taste at all fresh. Sweet and sour was unbearably sweet. Probably the worst Chinese we've ever had.

Nice food and friendly staff. The reception could do with a little clean up due to looking old and tired.

Walked in at 8:30 on a Friday night, food was turned around fairly quickly and was piping hot. One of the better Chicken Chow Mein dishes I've had.

Huge portions reminiscent of a time before shrinkflation. And the food was delicious. Please note cash only but there is a cash point in the co-op next door

Brilliant takeaway; good food and friendly people. We shall certainly be going back on a regular basis.

Yet another gorgeous meal and yes the BEST prawn toast ever...

Best take away for sure. Wow the black bean and chilli was incredible, so full of flavor. Wish this was our local as it would def be a weekly meal. Amazing value for the potion size as well We shared rice, noodles and black bean between us and was bursting at the seams!

My husband and I are on holiday in Cornwall and we decided to get some take out. Wow! This is by far the best Chinese takeout we have had. We live in London and haven’t been able to find good Chinese food and would definitely not get some for this price. It was good value for money and absolutely delicious. Our food also arrived in 8min from ordering and the person taking our order was very polite and professional. We highly recommend the beef and green pepper in black bean sauce as well as the chicken chow mein.

Ordered a takeaway and was ready for collection in 10 mins. Probably because it had been sitting there for a few days waiting for someone to order it. Chicken was drier than Gandhi’s flip flop and who knew that the Chinese put peas in EVERYTHING 🤷🏼‍♂️

Every time food ordered from this place is absolutely delicious, I can't fault it at all.

There’s a new guy working in there, he’s ever so helpful just like the other guy who’s been there years. A helpful and friendly atmosphere. Was a joy to pick up as opposed to delivery

We were recommended this Chinese from a friend. Absolutely horrific customer service! We waited 2 hours for home delivery of 2 dishes, chips and noodles. They didn’t even appologise or give any gestures of good will for the insane wait time. Will not be back.

On par with my favourite Chinese takeaway, best ever sesame prawn toast. Very friendly guy on reception. If we lived down here this would be a regular visit.

Great food! The guys behind the counter are legends 😎

Wow ! Amazing food.. This is a must-have

So these guys are stars in my eyes! They say you have an hour and 30 mins before they can deliver! And I have ordered several meals over two years, they relived my food in 30mins and I tastes great! They never disappoint! Absolute legends.

Lovely food, great portion sizes. A must if you are in the area.

Been coming here for decades and never had a bad one.

Food always fantastic and hot. Don't use any other Chinese, delivery always as time stated and drivers polite and friendly .

If you like an incredibly long wait and vast amounts oHP sauce this is the place to go! Otherwise don't bother!

Disgraceful chow mein. NOT a Chinese standard. Awful staff and utterly disgusting meal. Peas mushrooms and peppers in a Chow mein? Not worth the money. Don’t use this place, go to East Meets West!

The portions are of a decent size, the quality and amount of Chicken in the chicken fried rice and sweet and sour chicken balls was very good. This is the best Chinese takeaway that I've found in the area so far, but please note that they only accept cash.

Mâncare delicioasă pentru cei care le place specificul chinezesc.

Amazing food, very busy takeaway, but really tasty and hot when we got back to the caravan. Still as good as last year

Excellent food, ready in 15 minutes and piping hot. Will definitely return

Found this place a few months ago as we're new to the area ,excellent food even friends from upcountry say its better than their ones

I've used this restaurant for many years and won't be returning. Person on phone accepted an order when they shouldn't have and they are prioritizing local orders before mine even though I'm paying an £8 Delivery FEE. DON'T ACCEPT ORDERS IF YOU CAN'T HONOUR THEM. SHAME ON YOU, I'm so offended by the unprofessional attitude on the phone and from the owner in the kitchen that I will NEVER spend a single penny again with you. HORRENDOUS.

Food is good but they tell you to arrive at certain time and you still have to wait for another 45 minutes. Very frustrating because it happens every time I order take away from them.

Birthday Chinese tonight, Lush, definately recommend, 1st time using, while staying at Nearby Holiday Park, will use again 😀

Best Chinese I've had in St Austell area. Only 4 stars because they don't sell any soft drinks in cans or bottles. They also had no chopsticks or fortune cookies .... a must with my take out 😁

Asian family on a holiday for few days in Cornwall, we spoiled ourselves with local seafood but on our last day, we were really craving familiar food and Golden Wok didn’t disappoint. Tasty food, great portions, friendly and helpful staff and their price is nowhere near the price you’ ll get in expensive London. They were really busy when I got there but they happily accepted my order first while I took some cash which is just next door Coop as they don’t accept card. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Super friendly staff and great food. Really fast service too!

Great food. Friendly, jovial staff. Speedily prepared.

Great takeaway, good food, reasonable prices, good portion size.

On holiday in par,fantastic Chinese,see you next year

Not cheap and a bit of a wait because they where busy. But everything was cooked well and tasted great, portions also a good size.

Always go here when on holiday never been disappointed with the food.

The Golden Wok’s food is excellent. Living in the West Midlands, I am spoilt with having great takeaways and usually struggle to find similar quality restaurants when away. Wait times are a bit longer than I’m used to but worth waiting that little longer. Would highly recommend. Certainly above ‘Par’ 😉.

Would have been nice to try. But! Visited September 17th. Ordered by phone, 18.20, for collection, was told very busy, would be hour and quarter wait! Okay no worries, but, when went to collect hour and 20 mins, was told another 20 mins!! After waiting another 45 mins, so over 2 hours from phone order, I asked for money back as got too late to eat. Yes I got my money back, as it was still in the queue to be cooked!!! Not happy! Last day of holiday and was looking forward to chinese to finish it off. Shame. Won't be going back

Used to be lovely, unfortunately really gone down hill, food bland all tasted the same, chicken tough. will give it a miss for some time.

Didn't get chance to try food as wouldn't accept card payment over the phone for delivery. In this day and age, seems ludicrous and can't think of a reason for not accepting this. You missed out on a big order, but guess you won't be bothered

We have had takeaways quite a few time from there now and the food has always been very good especially the chicken curry (so much chicken) very friendly people there too 😋

I will never go back again, they think covid is over, you can't buy anything under £10 on card, most of the food they should pay you to eat it.

Best Chinese I’ve ever had. We shared Chicken balls (with curry sauce), mushroom chow mein, salt and pepper chips and prawn toast. All cooked to perfection and would highly recommend!

Great food great staff very friendly service

The least authentic Chinese dishes I have ever eaten. Sweet sour, and satay dishes taste like a dessert. Will avoid coming here if I'm ever in par.

Awesome food, best Chinese. Unfortunately bad shop experience, needs updating .

Best one around, really good food

Ordered food by phone, told 45 minutes to pick up, got there on time it was still over 15 minutes more. Food seems to come in random sizes, Main courses in different sized dishes, all food tasted the same (bland) regardless of what sauce it was meant to be in, not horrible but no where near the best. Seems to be a somewhat lazy feeling that let's this place down.

I only eat chicken balls, curry sauce and chips but they are bloody lovely. customer service is very good and friendly.

If we could give it minus stars we would. Food was tasteless, egg fried rice was congealed and disgusting. My Husband ordered sweet and sour chicken balls, when he cut into the ball the chicken was brown, it was inedible and we had to throw everything away. Definitely won't return.

Good value ,excellent food, meal for two. Enough for 4.

Friendly staff, very quick. Always cater to special requests

Absolutely amazing choice of dishes, really good value & not half portions. Excellent 👍

Absolutely delicious takeaway Chinese food, amongst the best I've had! Yummy!

Very good friendly service. Unfortunately had a chicken curry for the first time from here, not that good very dense

Wonderful very friendly service, with lovely food

Very fast service and superb food.

Amazing service and quality of food. We did a huge order for 22 people. Each dish was tasty and everyone said how great the dishes were. The honey and chilli chicken was my favourite by far. Highly recommend this Chinese

Highly recommend I have always received extremely nice meals 😋👍

Very disappointed, Golden Wok recommended to us by holiday park owners/wardens. When we ordered we were advised by Golden Wok that there would be a 60-80 minute wait for delivery of food, 2 hours later we are still waiting! When I called ref given waiting time was told ' we did tell you how long would be ' when I challenged this was fobbed off by them telling me how busy they were, totally unacceptable.......we are still waiting....and hungry!

Awesome food everytime. Friendly staff 100%recommended

First time my wife & I tried it, was fantastic. Great quality, portion size good & price is reasonable.

Best Chinese I've had in a very very long time .

Very tasty, lovely hot food.. thank you

Excellent! One of the best Chinese meals we’ve ever had. Quick service and good value, thanks to everyone at Golden Wok.

Excellent! One of the best Chinese meals we’ve ever had, the king prawns in ginger with spring onions was amazing. Quick service and good value, thanks to everyone at Golden Wok.

A lovely meal and great service

Really generous portions of tasty food.

Well done to the chef. The food was of high quality. Quick service and big portions. Highly recommended. Pancake roll is worth trying. As well as the Sal and Pepper ribs. The prawn toast was good too.

Very friendly service. Food very good. Bit of a wait as they were so busy on a Friday night.

Been here a number of times and confirm great food. Only gave 4 stars as the place desperately needs a refurbishment and a big tidy up before the building falls down! It doesn't have a "clean" feel inside but actually the food is great.

Great food, worth the wait. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Got a take out today very nice meal we couldn't eat it all.

Possibly the rudest staff I have ever had to deal with. Incompetent and unapologetic. Food ok but not worth the unpleasant encounter with the staff.

It was my first time of trying the Golden Work I had my food delivered and it was on time and nice and hot. The food is very good I really injony it and the priceis are really good.

Great food and good quality ingredients

By far the best mushroom fried rice , no egg , chips and curry sauce ive ever had....down for a few days at the caravan park and looking forward to more of your food.

Lovely food and friendly service

Lovely meal, really friendly service from ordering to delivery. This will be our regular Chinese from now on!!

Salt and pepper chip's are stunning

We are stopping in St Austell for a mini holiday, and fancied a takeaway rather than the pub again. A quick trawl of tripadvisor reviews and we settles on The Golden Wok, it certainly didn't disappoint. The shop itself looks very run down, but don't let that put you off. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the food was to put it simply, delicious. We will definitely be back

Just a mediocre Chinese takeaway

Not a bad curry. Quite busy this time of year, but we didn't wait too long.

We’re currently staying at Trenaython Manner and ordered a chinese from here as a change and we couldn’t fault it. We rang up around half past six placing an order for delivery at half eight and they explained that there was already an order booked for that time but we’d get it straight after and it arrived at twenty too. Food was piping hot and all fresh. Good portion sizes and taste was spot on. Better than our chinese at home, we loved it. Man on the phone extremely polite and man who delivered the food was polite and explained why it had taken a while because of the lack of lodge signage. Would definitely visit again.

Very nice food. They have different varieties of curry such as black bean curry etc. Fast service. Rating 4 stars as they need to add more vegan/veggie options such as vermanchelli noodles.

Been visiting here for years when in hols, Friendly service and nice food... a bit pricey compared to what we are used too .

Delicious and wonderful chinese takeaway with big portions and great flavour. They repeated back our order to us and the phone manner was professional and great. The ribs were delicious. Lemon chicken was lovely but I thought the chicken could have been cut into smaller pieces. One of the best chinese takeaways I've had. Fresh chilli's with the salt and pepper prawns which was great!

Staying at Penhale farm caravan park. Sent for a meal last night, Was amazed one of the best we have had for years we had starters and 3 mains and all were excellent would highly recommend, Was a little surprised that we didn't get free prawn crackers, as the bill was nearly £35 but still good.

Meal was ok but time taken to make it was well over the time advised when ordering

Food is high standard and you want more

Friendly service, very tasty food and stayed hot on car journey back to campsite
